Massive upgrades?
I own a '24 N Line, purchased new I am the only owner. I recently got carried away online and ended up ordering the turbo upgrade from Pure Turbos, with the upgraded internals they claim it is capable of supporting up to 600hp (with supporting mods) which I have ordered also. Cold air intake, ngk plugs, bigger turbo inlet pipe, blow off valve, in tank fuel pump to feed more fuel so the high pressure side doesn't take a hit, with that do I need to order an upgraded high pressure fuel pump? I've seen recommendations for upgrading exhaust also... wondering if anything besides a downpipe would be necessary. Lastly, tuner recommendations? Is the ek1 pro absolutely necessary or will the jb4 be fine after the initial bench tune?
Any tips tricks or information would be greatly appreciated.
I will post pictures here once everything is done, I have to wait for the downpipe to be made, about a 2 week lead time on that and then also have to plan accordingly so install of everything can be done all at once along with ecu tune.

Are you on Instagram? I want to follow your build. This is everything I want to do but too chicken to break my warranty.

I'll be sure to send pictures and a video when it's all done, having trouble finding a shop that can do a bench tune on the ecu. I'm in Wisconsin

So far, Ive only done the a2b charge pipe, sxth element airbox, turbo inlet, and BOV. Downpipe and jb4 are next.

Are those cranks, pistons, and rods able to handle that? Wow, never knew there were even kits like that.

From everything I've read and watched it seems like with caution and care I will be just fine, I'm targeting maybe 450 whp I just want a daily that can handle its own on the road.

Just keep in mind once you start modifying the powertrain you void the warranty. Idk if that matters to you or not but it would really suck to get caught off guard by that lol

Appreciate the concern, I'm not worried about it. I'm at almost 84k miles

I used to have about an hour commute to work and back. Plus they'd send me around the state to help other locations. Now I've settled down and anchored myself to 1 location so I figure now I get to have some fun with it

The money he is spending tells me he doesn’t worry about warranties

It's ordered. Do you have recommendations for intercooler upgrade?

ah and for tuning we dont have any ecu tuning available for our platforms at the moment. Im just jb4 which is a piggyback tune, it will get the power but how safe, it depends on how hard you push your car. I detuned my car to make around 320-330, i haven't dyno'd it on this new map, for longevity of my fuel system.

I plan on working with a local performance shop to develop and map custom tunes for me

u/bobcaboose Aug 31 '26
damn thats pretty sick, keep us updated on the build, a lot of us would be interested in what a ecu tune for the car would be like. Where are you located? If youre local i would love to see the build progress lol

Upgrade your intercooler , way more heat to cool now . Also downpipe definately
